Meursault

1er Cru Les Caillerets

Caille means rock or stone. Caillerais is the name of vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Volnay. –ret is to emphasise the quality of these terroirs.

A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.
